How To Keen Cool.

importance this problem has entirely

natural and wise to turn, for advice based
ON experience, to the people Of countries
that have made business of it for count
less generations. We learn that the peO,

THE Providence Journal says prohibition,
after years trial In Rhode Island, has
proved . farce. Drunkenness fell of consid.
srably last summer, but since then 1t has
been increasing throughout the state In
Providence, for example, the arrests for
drunkenness during the first three months Of
prohibition were about so PER cent less than
during the corresponding period under
license. But now they are only about p per
cent less, and the daily average il fast raising
to that OF former years In Pawtucket, Also
the present proportion OF drunkenness to all
criminal offences is actually greater than 1t
was under the license law; in Lincoln, meas
ured by the arrests, the use OF intoxicating
liquor has increased five-fold in twelve
months, while in Newport, where, perhaps,
prohibition comes nearer to being Q success
than In any other populous part OF the state,
drunkenness has not only alarmipgly in
creased OF late, but the proportion Of ofences
growing out OF liquor drinking to the total
number Of all arrests is actually per cent
greater than 1t was . year ago under the
license law. A similar condition is found
throughout the state, except In those few
towns where liquor selling was never com.
mon. The use Of intoxicants is as extensive
now Is II ever was: prohibition at the preseu,
time ID doing nothing to raise the moral tone
OF the community. Tners are known TO be in
the city Of Providence alone at least thirty.
nine more places where liquor is sold under
some arrangement than there were licensed
saloons under the old law.

The Democratic Primaries.

The Democratic primary elections
throughout the city and county On Satur-
day were very spirited, and illustrate the
active interest that peivades the local
Democracy. This is good sign. Eternal
vigilance is the price Of liberty and
when the voter remains mindful Of his
rights and duties, the safety Of the state Is
assured. The several estimable gentlemen
who are contesting for the county COM

representation at the county convention on

battle for supremacy begun on Saturday

LANUAsTER, JULY Is. 1857.
TIE Psrdsnins Power.

The PhiladelphiA Times is sorely exer-
oAod over the position that the pardon
bard and the governor have taken in the
caen Of NcMeen and johnson, the death
ronalty Of the former having been commu-
~ 70 imprisonment for life, and the latter
bslng afforded thirty days longer of life to
permit Of further hearing Of his case be-
1bee The board Of pardons. The Times is
e the opinion that the pardon board usurps
~ prerugstives Of the court, and is partic-
ulariy incensed that it is possible to rehear
. GO without the provision of newly dis
covered evidence.
And yet . new light upon old evidence
may change the whole situation. The
Times very properly declares that the ver-
dicts Of courts in murder cases should not
- lightly set aside on account Of SYM
pathy. Neither should pardon board be
asaf TO the entreaty for hearing in case

both, b most frequently at fault. There
fore, we believe that technicalities of a
minor character should not be permitted
20 interfere with the inquiry into the guilt
q Innocence of man under sentence of
death.
Tho Times thirsts for the blood of Sam
uel johnson, the convicted murderer of
John Sharpless, yet the Times will concede
that the gravest doubts exist as to his
guilt. He does not answer the description
given Of the old Quaker's assailant, and an
adequate motive for the crime By him has
not been given. The circumstantial story
connecting William T. Colwell with ths
crime a inapUftant enough to merit earnes
and it is most just tha
Johnson's fate should be in allegiance unit
this latest development is fully investi
gated. Any other course of action would
be irreparable injustice to the doomed
johnson, who protests his innocence, and
whom many people believe innocent.
1t may be that this sweltering weather
has caused the Times to take this red.hot
view Of the situation, but we are sure that

stored to . more equable frame of mind

THE failure of the Thermometer toproperly
record the terrific heat of the past few days
may be accounted for by surprising that the

that the weight of the mercury has expanded
